Trim for a building frontage

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for trimming a building frontage. The method includes: applying an insulation onto said wall, from the wall towards the outside; applying a solar receptor after the insulation; forming a channel between the insulation and a rigid outer layer; placing a partially transparent and/or cut-out flexible strip therein; closing the channel with the outer layer having at least 90% of the surface thereof made of at least one transparent or translucent protection feature. The invention also relates to a kit for trimming a building frontage capable of being implemented by the method.

1 . Method for trimming a building frontage including wherein the frontage is comprised of a wall, and wherein the method starts from said wall towards an exterior, said method comprising the steps of:
 measuring a the level of insulation of said wall and determining an eventual complementary layer of insulation;   arranging, if necessary, at least one said complementary layer of insulation on said wall;   arranging at least one solar receptor on said wall or on said complementary layer of insulation farthest away from said wall;   forming, beyond a most external solar receptor, at least one channel between said solar receptor and a rigid external layer;   arranging, in at least one such channel, at least one partially transparent or/and cut-out or/and perforated internal flexible strip;   arranging said internal flexible strip over a full height of a module forming a frontage element of the building, or over the full height of the building, hooked on an upper bearing surface and tensioned by tensioning means; and   closing each channel by said rigid external layer, being comprised of at least either transparent or translucent protection means over at least 90% of a surface, or at least one external strip having a light-transmission coefficient higher than 25%, made in the form of a textile or a grid maintained tensioned within a frame.   
     
     
         2 . Method according to  claim 1 , wherein said internal flexible strip is arranged between a lower bearing surface and an upper bearing surface, at least one of the lower and upper bearing surfaces comprising means for tensioning said internal flexible strip. 
     
     
         3 . Method according to  claim 1 , wherein said solar receptor comprises sheet metal with a zigzag profile with alternately faces arranged horizontally and, faces arranged obliquely and parallel to each other, a normal line of faces protruding to the exterior is ascending. 
     
     
         4 . Method according to  claim 1 , wherein insulation of said complementary layer is comprised of at least one sandwich panel having a most external face forming said solar receptor. 
     
     
         5 . Method according to  claim 4 , wherein said protection means is fixed to said sandwich panel, directly or through supporting spacers so as to form at least one channel between said sandwich panel and said protection means. 
     
     
         6 . Method according to  claim 1 , wherein said internal flexible strip is removable and fixed with reversible fixing means permitting its quick exchange, being comprised of Velcro(™), or by press-buttons, or by snap-on fasteners with lever effect or clamping, or by clips, or by magnets, or by screwing means. 
     
     
         7 . Method according to  claim 1 , wherein said rigid external layer comprises transparent or translucent protection means over at least 90% of their surface, and wherein said internal flexible strip is applied directly on said transparent or translucent protection means, by gluing, or by electrostatic assembling or by magnetization or by welding. 
     
     
         8 . Kit for trimming a frontage, being applied onto a wall or onto an insulation of said frontage, said kit comprising:
 at least one solar receptor; and   a channel separating said solar receptor from a rigid external layer, wherein the solar receptor and said channel are positioned from said wall to an external environment, the rigid external layer being in a vicinity of said external environment,   wherein said channel contains comprises, between said solar receptor and said rigid external layer, at least one internal flexible strip being partially transparent or/and cut-out or/and perforated, and wherein said rigid external layer comprises at least either at least one transparent or/and cut-out or/and perforated external strip having a light-transmission coefficient higher than 25%, or transparent or translucent protection means over at least 90% of their surface.   
     
     
         9 . Kit for trimming a frontage according to  claim 8 , wherein said rigid external layer comprises transparent or translucent protection means over at least 90% of its surface, and wherein said protection means are arranged as close as possible to the external environment. 
     
     
         10 . Kit for trimming a frontage according to  claim 8 , wherein said rigid external layer comprises one said partially transparent or/and cut-out or/and perforated external strip having a light-transmission coefficient higher than 25% and transparent or translucent protection means over at least 90% of a surface of the strip, and wherein said protection means are arranged between said channel and said external strip, being arranged as close as possible to said external environment. 
     
     
         11 . Kit for trimming a frontage according to  claim 8 , wherein said rigid external layer comprises one said partially transparent or/and cut-out or/and perforated external strip having a light-transmission coefficient higher than 25%, being arranged as close as possible to the external environment. 
     
     
         12 . Kit for trimming a frontage according to  claim 8 , further comprising:
 at least one removable frame, for holding an internal flexible strip, or/and an external strip.   
     
     
         13 . Kit for trimming a frontage according to  claim 8 , wherein said internal flexible strip is removable and arranged over the full height of said kit or a module of said kit, said internal flexible strip being hooked on an upper bearing surface, and tensioned by tensioning means. 
     
     
         14 . Kit for trimming a frontage according to  claim 8 , wherein said solar receptor comprises bosses for supporting said rigid external layer, said bosses having sloping surfaces with respect to a general plane according to said solar receptor, the surfaces receiving the edges of transparent panels or frames for holding external strips so as to fix said edges with a slight curve in order to absorb the dilatations of the material, according to an angle of gradient (α) between said sloping surface and said plane, which is smaller than 10°. 
     
     
         15 . Kit for trimming a frontage according to  claim 8 , further comprising:
 at least one complementary insulation layer fixed to said wall, and to which wherein at least one said solar receptor is fixed the complementary insulation layer.
